Zac Efron takes over the playground for a fitness session

When Zac Efron monkeys around, he means business. The 23-year-old heartthrob took a break from shooting his new film, The Paperboy, to get some exercise on a local playground in New Orleans yesterday.
Although he was wearing navy sweatpants, a blue T-shirt, a trucker cap and aviators, he still managed to look like a Hollywood star.

Zac can now take his workouts on the road thanks to TRX, a workout system designed by U.S. Navy Seals that utlizes your own body weight for a workout.
 
Perhaps he's sharing his secrets with new co-stars Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Sofia Vergara and John Cusack, who are also doing time in the hot Louisiana sunshine.
The former High School Musical star is completely deviating from his formerly tween self in this big budget sexual thriller.

He plays narrator Jack James, the son of the Moat County Tribune's editor and publisher. Jack is a paperboy who helps his big-time reporter brother Ward (McConaughey) solve a four-year-old murder.
The film is based on Pete Dexter's 1995 novel of the same name and will be helmed by Precious director Lee Daniels.
The baby-blue eyed star has been hard at work this summer: he also filmed the drama Heartland with Dennis Quaid in Iowa.

The film is said to tell the story of an enterprising farmer whose plans cause problems within his family.
At least while he's working Zac isn't creating problems in his personal life, which he definitely managed to do earlier this summer. 
The star got himself into hot water when he was seen frolicking on the beach with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens' best friend, Ashley Tisdale.
